Ladies and gentlemen, the comedic stylings of Mr. Jon Stewart

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

Tonight is the night. The Oscars are upon us. It's a nice feeling knowing that even though I'm sitting here in my pajamas on a rainy Los Angeles morning with a cup of coffee and the Times that the stars are probably knee-deep in dresses that cost more than my house, borrowed jewelry, and their third glass of champagne.

I'm guessing that Jon Stewart is as nervous as anyone, if not more so. The comedian will be our host for this, the biggest night in entertainment, despite word that some of the Academy were less than thrilled with his previous job two years ago. Personally, I thought he was hilarious.

His fashion isn't the type that gets mentioned on sites like this, although it is often worn when writing on sites like this, go figure. Hey, you try blogging in haute couture and see how long that lasts.

No, Mr. Stewart is a regular guy with a sharp wit and a panache for exploiting the obvious. The night looks promising. Enjoy your Oscars.

Since the promos this year don't give Stewart any face time we'll share one from his first go:


Tim Gunn on The Daily Show

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style



Ah, Tim. If it wasn't for you, Project Runway would be a boring reality show about self-obsessed pseudo-designers who get more attention for being bitchy than for their occasionally half-decent creations. Fortunately, you are awesome, and keep me wanting more.

Yes, Tim Gunn, the man himself, recently appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to talk about the show, and about the importance of New York Fashion Week (which, if you haven't noticed, we've been covering extensively). However, the best part of the interview isn't what Tim says, but rather that Jon is apparently an enormous fan.

At one point he reveals to the fashion icon: "I think what's remarkable [about Project Runway] is that I don't know anything about fashion ... yet I'm beginning to understand it and appreciate it."

Well done, Tim! I wonder how many other people have been turned on to the fashion industry thanks to Project Runway. Anyone out there a Tim-Gunn convert?

Are you more into fashion thanks to Project Runway?
